Goalrilla Tackling Dummy

An old statute term for the tackling or furniture of a ship.

Pete Carroll states in the beginning of his video, “[We want to] maintain the physical integrity of the game while developing safer tackling techniques. We desire to play the game as tough as it is meant to be played while also making the game safer.” The techniques shown do not make for a softer type of play. You can see from the examples that there are some physical hits being made. What’s great about these techniques is that they can be done in shorts and t-shirts. This means that working on tackling technique can be done year-round making the game both better and safer.

Our great game of football is under attack. It is our duty as coaches to become better teachers of the game, and strive to coach the best and safest techniques. Carroll’s tackling video is a great starting point.

The next moment Mayo heard the ripping of tackle and a crash.

#1 Piece of Tackling Advice: Donâ€™t be a WUSSY!

Andrus and Haggerty coached at the Boys & Girls Club. Bryan Partee, the club’s director, had heard concerns from board members about the safety of the game and the club’s potential exposure to lawsuits over injuries. With the future of tackle football at the club in doubt, Andrus and Haggerty left to start the Lions. Unlike the Boys & Girls Club, whose teams played only in Marshall, the Lions intended to travel to other towns to play, something that would expand the boys’ horizons.

Critics have accused USA Football of exaggerating the benefits of the program, but the tackle football coaches in Marshall endorse it. They say they are confident that football can be made safer if players are taught proper tackling habits at a young age.

Many of the coaches for the Lions and the Longhorns have taken the Heads Up course, a program aimed at teaching safe tackling techniques. It was developed by the nonprofit organization USA Football, which has received tens of millions of dollars from the NFL.

Still, for every parent like Moore, there are others who believe tackle football provides a good outlet for boys in need of discipline and exercise. They recognize that the sport has potentially devastating effects, but believe that better-trained coaches can reduce the risks.
